Description

This surface ignitor is the replacement electrode that creates the spark to light gas burners on a cooktop. It restores reliable spark ignition so burners light quickly and consistently. What it does:

• Produces the spark at a surface burner to ignite gas flow
• Replaces cracked, worn, or non-sparking electrodes
• Common symptom: burner clicks but fails to light or lights intermittently
• Works with single-point surface ignition systems where an electrode projects near the burner

What's included:

• One surface ignitor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting work
• Handle the ceramic insulator and electrode tip carefully to avoid damage
• Basic hand tools are typically required; follow manufacturer diagram for correct positioning
• After installation, test each burner for proper spark and flame pattern
